Doug -- yes, I will. Or will at least show you a photo of one or both.

there's an american copy editors society meeting in new orleans in march or april '12 ... never been to the big easy, and i'm contemplating using that as an excuse.

Wed. 9/14/11 12:17pm
listener james from westwood:
brian, i've been 5 behind for most of my life. only the unit of time has changed!

You are many things, Amanda, but never styupid.

Woe betide the person who accidentally refers to that meeting in New Orleans as the American Copy Editor's Society meeting.

Wed. 9/14/11 12:33pm
Amanda:
I think it's my mom who pronounces it New OrLEENS, and I always flinch when I say it that way. But she is Dutch so I forgive her.

I knew a guy with the last name Bontemps. I always wanted to refer to him as [first name] Goodtimes, Mob style, but this guy was the saddest sack in the history of sacks.

Just discovered that the Camellia Grill is only open until midnight tonight! What are we gonna do? Maybe early to bed and four meals tomorrow?

listener james from westwood:
love and rockets: they occasioned my first visit to a college radio station. heard "haunted when the minutes drag" at boston college, was stunned, walked down to wzbc, asked the dj what was playing. none of your fancy accuplaylists in 1987 (shakes cane at kids on lawn)

There was tawk of Gallatoires on Facebook last night. In the old days, we used put out our Gallatoires ashtrays for company. Now no one smokes anymore.

Wed. 9/14/11 12:41pm
listener james from westwood:
the legacy infrastructure of smoking is fairly large. i know there are tons of ashtrays lurking in my parents' house. no way to repurpose those!

Wed. 9/14/11 12:42pm
Fiveash:
Thanks Jill! Are they open all night? There's also the St. Charles Tavern down the street from where we're staying. Not exactly Galatoire's but open 24 Hours...

Wed. 9/14/11 12:44pm
Amanda:
lJfW -- I knew there was a reason why you are a faithful listener to this programme. That sounds very similar to a lot of my own stories about listening to college radio and being nosy.

Hi efd! Now if only the Copy Editors' Society conference and the Ponderosa Stomp could happen at the same time so they could put correct punctuation into everyone's song/record titles...

Wed. 9/14/11 12:46pm
Van in Dallas:
smoking. hmph. Sept 27th will be 1 year cold turkey quitting after being a 2.5 to 3 pack a day smoker, and smoking for 27 years. Hey gotta run Amanda...online training class starting :( Have fun in Nawlens

Wed. 9/14/11 12:46pm
Amanda:
jill, feel free to recommend more eateries as they come to your mind. We are going to be hungry and/or frustrated by airport food

Wed. 9/14/11 12:54pm
Brian in UK:
Carmichael, you are right Cat Stevens wrote it & I bought his first LP with that song on it with money from my paper round. My first record. Still sounds good.
Hello John got a new motor. He works on the Thames Barrier.

He was the landlord in The Yong Ones. A stand up with Marxist leanings from Liverpool. That was 20 years ago.

Well spotted James, make that 30 years ago.

Er... yes! TREMEloes, exactly.

Hi Mike East and pgw in mntclr! I'm happy to be in such kindred, Young-Ones-loving company.

Wed. 9/14/11 1:00pm
jill:
Amanda- i could give you tons of restaurant and club recommendations. But to spare you of a huge laundry list i will give you two not to miss:
1. Willie Mae's Scotch House
2. Bayonna
If anyone tells you "Oh you must go to Commanders" look at them and tell them "If i wanted to eat at a chow hall, i would have stayed in Jersey and eaten at Denny's"

Wed. 9/14/11 1:01pm
pgw in mntclr:
"Oi! Up Scumbag!"

Juan de San Antonio TX:
Great set Amanda, making cleaning the house a hell of a lot easier. Where's the New Orleans music? The Sissy Nobby?

Wed. 9/14/11 1:04pm
Lizardner Dave:
Actually I thought Commander's would be an overrated tourist trap but was surprised at how good the food was the first time we ate there. So much so that we have gone back a couple times. Willie Mae's does have very good fried chicken but the service can be spotty. Bayona is nice as well. However my can't-miss recommendation is that you go to any one of Donald Link's places. Cochon Butcher is my favorite but try to go in between the lunch and dinner rushes otherwise you'll have quite a long wait.

i met an fmu volunteer who had an intricately—one might say grotesquely—detailed vyvyan tattooed on his calf.

oh my.

ps. vyvyan from the young ones and klaus nomi have the same hairdo.

Carmichael:
I belive this is the 1st song on the 2nd side of Remote Control.

Wed. 9/14/11 1:09pm
Amanda:
Hi Juan! Nice to hear from you! I am going to leave the NO music to the experts and confine NO topics to the non-musical aspects of the show.

Speaking of, I'm amazed by how many food recommendations I have gotten, with almost zero overlap from person to person.

Wed. 9/14/11 1:17pm
Carmichael:
Is that considered cloud computing, Doug?

Wed. 9/14/11 1:17pm
Lizardner Dave:
Just read back upthread - I think the branch of the Camellia Grill they opened at 540 Chartres is open past midnight. As least I hazily recall it being the case last time I was down there in January.

Wed. 9/14/11 1:20pm

I love learning new lingo like "upthread" (and soundcloud) from all you young listeners.

Brian, did you mention Shropshire the other day? I was wondering if Fairport's annual reunion takes place there.

Wed. 9/14/11 1:37pm
Brian in UK:
No Carmichael, it's in Oxfordshire by the Oxford canal in Cropredy just north of Oxford. I had to dash away so never finished talking to Scott. Shropshire is a county where nothing much happens, I like it, people drive around in 30 year old cars. It's not like a Talking Heads song about Heaven though.

Wed. 9/14/11 1:39pm
Carmichael:
OK, thanks. Kind of like Carmichael, where I live ...

Wed. 9/14/11 1:40pm

Every show this week on Give the Drummer Radio has played FCC-verboten material. I'm so fucking proud!

Wed. 9/14/11 1:43pm
Brian in UK:
It's not grown up and it's not clever. Schulkind report to the cycle sheds after class.

Wed. 9/14/11 1:43pm
Amanda:
You don't say, Doug! I was listening to Tony Coulter's show yesterday but didn't catch it. I think Mike East was shocked that I actually SAID the F-word. Apologies if I offended Brian with that.

Wed. 9/14/11 1:45pm
Hugo:
Did someone mention The Tremeloes? That takes me back a day or two. Here comes my baby. Silence is golden. Even the bad times are good. Etc. With or without Brian Poole?

Wed. 9/14/11 1:45pm
Brian in UK:
Great show today. Have a FAB break. Eat Lots, then eat Lots wife.

Wed. 9/14/11 1:46pm
Doug S.:
Well be sure to check out "Letter to a Teenage Daughter" on Tony's archive. (Second selection of the show.) Being that you are someone's daughter, it may make you blush a bit.

Wed. 9/14/11 1:49pm
Carmichael:
Hugo, Brian Poole was their lead singer for all of the big hits, if I recall correctly. He went solo toward the endof their peak period.

Wed. 9/14/11 1:50pm

Amanda etal. - One more thing in NOLA tonight. Head to the Maple Leaf, see my friend Ragan behind the bar and dig on Upclose & Personal with Cornell Williams & Big D from the Absolute Monster Gentlemen - dat's some badass late night music for ya.

Wed. 9/14/11 1:53pm
Lizardner Dave:
Love the Maple Leaf. Jacques Imo's next door has pretty good food too though it's a bit more touristy since the owner's been on every food show about New Orleans for the last decade.

Really?!? Well, back to the research documents for me. Thanks for the lesson!

Wed. 9/14/11 1:56pm
Brian in UK:
The Trems took on a singer called Chip (cause he was a carpenter) as the lead singer cannot remember his second name. This is from memory.

New show on GTDR starting presently. I am previewing a test program now. More news SOON!

Thank YOU lJfW and everyone!

I just now righted the erroneous playlist data about the Baby Harp Seal song that I had misidentified as being by Polaris. I am S-M-R-T. Talk to you all soon!

Howdy, Miss A. Listening on the 'chives late in the evening at work. A shame, coz I can't turn it up the way it deserves. You're playing lots of my faves. I haven't even thought of "Squabs on Forty Fab", let alone heard it, in decades. Enjoy N'Awlins.

Tue. 9/20/11 10:39pm
Amanda:
Thanks to you belated listeners, Schned and Parq! I'm back from NOLA now and can't wait to tell everyone about it (well, about some of it) tomorrow. xoxo.
